Which Vitamins and Nutrients are good for Sleep and Insomnia
Deficiencies in certain vitamins,
minerals, amino acids and enzymes may disrupt sleep.
Calcium
magnesium,
B vitamins, folic acid and melatonin
deficiencies may impair sleep.
Calcium, especially when contained
in food, has a sedative effect on the body. A calcium deficiency in the body
causes restlessness and wakefulness.
Magnesium deficiency is responsible
for nervousness that prevents sleep. Magnesium-rich foods include kelp, wheat
bran, almonds, cashews, blackstrap molasses, and brewer's yeast.
Tryptophan is an amino acid that
plays a key role in the repair of protein tissues and in creating new protein.
In the brain, tryptophan is converted into serotonin, a natural sleep-inducing
chemical. It also enhances the brain's ability to produce melatonin, the hormone
that regulates your body's natural inner clock. Inositol and B vitamins are
needed to restore calm to the mind
